(14 the very face of it, the acceptance of this proposition for a Conference to be held in London uPn Plapano-German Question gives promise of proving , but very little better .than a flagrant p 7 .6.7naib flakau. - And it doeSso:quite manifestly, if far no other rF47bn, for this exceedingly simple one, that , thn'occePtanoa of the Conference is not ac companied by the a'cceptance' of . an Armistice. Hostilities are still to be continued although the- q3roposal of a Uonference • is accepted. Whilethe Conference is sitting, the bloodshed tic desolating the soil of. ihnmark is. to go on uninterruptedly. • Jutland is yet at this moment the stn ciine round of, riUssien iietdierY. So far ~u-1,; from that province being evacuated by the German. itO4dera, thelatter have appare ntl y no intention whiteyer of 'Withdrawing from it. Yet, in this mast: lamentable position of things between th e belligerents; we' are - expected to exult as at.. a mast auspicious advance towards a termination of the war, upon the announcement of this accept anon of the offer of a Conference wilho7tt an Armi stice such as could really, alone render any (lonference feasible as a means towards a pacific''' . tin. ostrtg Even supp • the telegraphic rumour to be coeifirmed, the rumour now intimating categorically o vthe bases of the Conference proposed by Eng land--First, that the Europe3an Powas do really auaranie , the autonomy as well as the indivisi bility of the, Dar:lies; and, Secondly, that it is stipulated by ahem that the territorial arrangements hitherto existing are to undergo no change—So long Lis it is understood, no less distinctly, that the war is to fiercely continued among the belligerents, all the, while. the plenipotentiaries are sitting in env/fermate , here inlonecn—th e guarantees aforesaid golust abjointelY 'for nothing. uWho can foretell what. stage may- not have been arrived at, in the ii`=Telopment of the war, by the time the conference should b 3 preparing formally to announco its de cision ? In the then embittered state of feelirg of the belligerentl3, it is probable that all the guaran tees in the world might be set aside alike by the Danes and by the Andra-Prussians. At the best, the augury to be drawn from this proposed and accepted Conference is very doubtfully . auspicious indeed. It rests upon so many vague, and shifting, and unimaginable contingencies. It rests its chief reliance,. in effect—as does the present Cabinet of England for that matter —upon the Chapter of Accidents. " Vivo la Bagatelle," almost, one might take to be the watchword of the Ad ministration. And so—Ministers are evidently exulting, as at a signally triumphant manoeuvre, over this left-handed acceptance of the offer of a Conference, the war itself still continuing. Lord PALMEItSTON showed his usual tact and dis cernment in coming down to the House last night. It showed that the noble lord understood the exi gency of the case, and was willing to conform to the expression of opinion so decidedly expressed by members on both sides of the House. The Premier had also good intelligence to communicate relative to the Tuscaloosa. Here, again, Ministers have yielded to the pressure of circumstances, and relinquished their unfair and unjust attempt to in terfere with the 'rights of other nations. Credit is due to them for sending out those orders for setting her at liberty, which the noble lord referred to last night; and it is satisfactory, of course, to obtain such information. At the same time, it cannot but occur to the mind, on the receipt of this intelli gence, that it would have been better to have acted with less haste, and to have studied the bearings of the question a little more carefully before proceed ing, to such extremities. It is not consonant with the dignity of the country, it is not consistent for the reputation of our Government, to be constantly changing about in this manner. Precipitancy on one side and recusance on the other, a general dis cussion and confusion all around, heartburnings and murmers of discontent seem to mark the progress of our Administration. There is one thing reassuring at all events in this affair, and that is the encourage ment given to independent mindi to persist in ferreting out these unjust machinations, and in setting forward the true state of the case in the light of day. Had there been a timorous course pursued in' this matter restitution would never have been made, and a gross injury would have been perpetrated by our authorities. Lord R. CECIL very properly asked whether compensation would be given for the injury, but Loid PALMER STON would not be compromised into giving an assurance to that effect. This must be the next cases beEi, and the champions. of international rights should strenuously insist on justice being done to the parties Whsii have sustained a loss by the hot haste and misjudged partiality - of their assailants. Many may think that too much fuss has been made about this i case altogether, but nothing can b 3 small which concerns ,truth and justice, nothing unimportant that relates to the honour of our country; and nothing not worth striving for that result's in rendering jistice to any Power or. State which has been oppressed or wrong fully injured by any mistakes—real or intentional. If the Ministers hope in any way to retrieve a portion of their damaged reputation they *must finish their task of making the atrtirlde honorable, and imme diately bestoW that compeniatiOn which the Con • federates have a right to expect.. The possession of that moral right should be as powerful to insure its reception, as if armed hosts- could command the restitution, or hostile fleets wore bound to enforce the claim. Lord DERBY last night called attention to the very strange manner in which the Government are acting in regard to the production of the papers asked for by various members in both Houses of the Legislature. The general result proves, as the noble Earl remarked, that there is a want of com• munication between the members of Her MAJESTY'S Government. It is, indeed, a very peculiar manner of conducting the affairs of the State, and its effects must be very prejudicial to the interest of the pub lic service. It is very essential that we should have the papers which have been laid before the Ameri can Congress, and Lord DERBY again requested the Foreign Secretary to state on what grounds he re • fused to comply with this reasonable demand. Lord RUSSELL made one of his extraordinary re plies. He said that he only withheld those that related to a question now pending before the courts of law. The Attorney-General had advised him not to produce these documents, but he_believed he had since changed his opinion. Can anything be more- unsatisfactory .than this dilleedallying with questions of so much moment. Lord CHELMSFORD very properly asked to know when the change bad taken place. This, however, he was not Permitted to know. It is idle for Earl RUSSELL to attempt to get himself out of one difficulty by plunging into another, and he is only laying himself open to re newed attacks and redoubled criticism. One House is refused to be allowed to see the papers relating to the SaxOn, - and the other is put in possession of them. All this beating about the bush cannot possibly serve the' turn of Ministers, and must sooner or later overwhelm them with discomfiture. There are many montlis of the session yet to run, and it is preposterous to imagine that the most dexterous jugglings and complipated combinations can put off all awkward inquiries, and keep the pertinacious questioners at bay. , Public inquiry will not be stifled in this fashion, and the voice that now feebly, perhaps, is heard, will be raised to a pitch, and be endued with a meaning that Cebinets must hear and heed, It will not benefit the position of the Govern ment to put off . the evil day now and alight on a worse one some weeks hence. They had better totally Alter their' tadtieh, and like men of spirit face the worst, and 'not give their Opponents such; a handle against them as to say that private interests are sacrificed 'to political prejudices, and the dignity of the country compromised ; to keep one particular set of men in office to, carry out notions _which militate againit the spirit of the age. Thanks to the spirit of .daring and adventure which VSPeein - ny ebarieteriies Englishmen', there will soon be feW spots in the habitable globe with which we are ,not. in some degree fainiliarised. Within- the :last few . years the savage tribes who inhabit the central tracts of Africa, have been visited for the first lime - by - white men, and the sandy Wakes which Stretch • across the great S 3 uthern . continent have beCeri eipl6red by a band d ar ing of co lonists.' Englishmen have descended the Russian, mines, have ridden the wild horses of the Kirghis, have penetrated the mysterious empire o f lapin; an - d' rat habitable - land-behind them on their voyage northward, The proceedings of the loyal Geographical Society have become no sine care, and its niFettega hav e lately become deeply interesting. It is but . a feW weeks since the asseinbly -listened with breathless interest to the account 'Of the " hairlreadth 'scapes and snares" Of Captains SPENE and GRANT in their expedition to L - Ike Nya'nz Thin recital of the dangers- they encountered from tr(e_erafty , "an d..,e ethens'kings of some of the, trihes, the, risks, through. which their firmness and tact carried thpin and the strange scenes and habits of the sava-: o people they tntlitalted:' attention of the . listeners, Who thus learned from tile words Of an eye-witness , his impressions of those races and countries where a white man was hitherto `tin- known. At the meeting at Burlington House on Monday evening, the audience were transported to what might seem almost to be part of another world. Instead of the rude and primitivn• usages of Central. Africa—the rough huts and want of almost the common necessaries of life—there was called before them a vision of mosques, bazaars, and handsome cities, of stables full of Nedjed steeds, of worshippers kneeling to the glowing sun of the East. Despotism ais strict as that of the • African kings prevail in these sunny Arabian scenes, the tyranny of Islam, supplying the place of the irre sponsible will of the black monarch. Mr. PAL GRAVE, the son of the late Sir FRANCIS PALGRAVE, whose name is well known to English literature, has passed the last eighteen years in journeying across the northern part of Arabia, from Gaze in south ern Syria to El Khatif, on the Persian Gulf, and hence to the kingdom of Oman at the eastern corner of Arabia. This, expedition, whose exploits and adventures were happily described by the pre sident, as the thousand and second Arabian Knights, was full of danger and difficulty. A sufficient proof of the rarity and danger of such a journey is afforded by the fact that Mr. PALGRAVE'S experience con tradicts nearly all the little we were supposed to know about the countries in question. The general notion of 'the more distant parts of Arabia is a wild expanse of sandy desert, where wandering Bedouins pitch their tents, and the whole life 'of the inhabi tants is nomadic and desultory. In place of this we find large and populous cities full of shops, bazaars, and all the accessories of Arabian life in the better known districts, with houses of two and three stories, built with a degree of taste that eclipses European competition. Nevertheless the ignorance and misapprehension on these points is not surprising, for so great is the jealousy with which the Arabs regard the intrusion of any Europeans, that it is by no means an uncommon thing for travellers who have ventured so far to be put to death. Mr. PALGRAVE assumed the charac ter of a wandering doctor, and his medical know ledge stood him in good stead. The whole party had to disguise themselves at Gaza, and were by no means reluctant to accept the explanation gene rally given 'of their journey —that Mr:' PALGRAVE committed some civil crime, and had fled from his native Damascus. In his medical capacity Mr. PALGRAVE achieved some striking successes, and once nearly got into serious trouble by doing so. He had cured a case of partial paralysis by a careful external application of strychnine. He was then in the Wahabite territory, and the KING, whnheard of the wonderful cure, sent for him to beg for some of the marvellous powder. A refusal, founded on its danger in unpracticed hands, produced no effect, his MAJESTY hinting that its fatal qualities would. by no means diminish its utility as a political agent. A stormy scene ensued, after which it was thought moreprudent for the party to efrect a secret escape from thneountry., At the Wahabite capital, before this contention, the supposed doctor had been called upon to attend to oue of the. Royal steeds, and had consequently an' opportunity of inspecting those celebrated stables where the finest of the Arab horses are collected. These beautiiiii creatures are describad by Mr. PALGRAVE as the beau ideal of the horse. The state of Oman, at the extreme east of Arabia, is s strange to E iropean visitornas the wildest die. tricts of Central Africa, being entirely cut off from the rest of Arabia by vast deserts. ' It is,' according to his description, the most beautiful part of Arabia, with a climate resembling, that of India, and traces of the old fire-warship of the country left lingering among the people. Mr. PALGRAVE has collected a vast amount of information, as yet, of course, only given in outline, respecting the reli gious, political, and social condition of the people. In addition to thedangers he most with from hostile natives, he passed through perils by land and water, narrowly escaping death in a simoom in the desert and a shipwreck on the coast of Oman. Fortunately, however, he Las reached home in safety, after an absence so protracted that his native tongue has grown strange to him, to be warmly welcomed by his countrymen, and to add his rich and varied experience to the stores of our geographical knowledge. The Government Annuities Bill, A public meeting was held last night, at the Whittington Club,. Strand, to consider the best way of opposing the Annuities Bill, lately introduced by the Government. In the absence of Mr. Thornton Hunt, who was unavoidably prevented from attend ing the meeting, the chair was taken by dllr.,Faulk net, the editoz of the News. In opening the 'pro ceedings, the chairman said that a meeting of working men had been convened to express their opinion on the subject of this bill, ,which aimed at the destruction of all industrial benefit and assurance societies. He denied that those institutions were failures, and he was, sure that he carried the meeting with, him when, hesaid that working men knew per fectly well how to take care of their own,savings. He would introduce to the meeting several working men, who would give their opinions on the subject. Mr. Worley moved the first resolution, to the effect that the principle of Government interfering with com mercial enterprise was a most mischievousone, and deserved the strenuous opposition of all ,classes of the community. He believed that the bill origi nated in a desire on the part of the. Government to exercise a monopoly in these matters,,and on that ground he objected to it. He theug,ht the Govern ment suspiciously kind to working men lately, bat ho was sure, the less they had to do with them the better. The greatest objection to the bill was that, the business matters of the society were to be taken out of the hands of the men who were best fitted to . transact them. The motion, was seconded by. Mr. Wheeler, of tb.e Xriend-in-Need Benefit Society, principally on the ground that the Govern ment always, failed when they,,undertook any ell.ss labour, and that if the bill passed a similar failure would take place. ,He looked,p4 the measure as, the thin end of the wedge for the introduction of Government . interference in all trades. The bill had been brought in in indecent baste, and the very name of it was :a blind. If the working-men, whose greatest interest it, was. to carry on these societies,. sometimes failed. there was still less % probability of the efforts of the Government., being crowned with success. The motion ,having been car ried, 'Mr. Shrubb. desired to state, in, correction of a statement made by the laet -speaker, that : the large insaranco societies had not, taken up this matter, and that the representatives of nearly all the old and new offices had already, met and passed resolutions condemnatory of theaneasure. In mov 7 itlg the next resolution, to the effect that the second clause,, giving power to the Government to com pete with benefit societies and insurance com panies, was uncalled-for, Mr. New made use of most of the arguments advanced by the previous speakers. He thought if the Government proposed to take life assurances into their hands, they should also take under their protection the sick funds throughout the country. Ho feared, however, that the profits were too small, and the trouble too great, for the Government to touch this portion of the business of ber.efit societies. Mr. Nash seconded the resolution. If, as had been stated, working men's benefit societies were badly mansged, it was the business of the Government to reform them, and not to destroy. them.- He sug gested that a deputation should be formed to , wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer.; also, that a petition to Parliament should be adopted and signed all those piesent. Other revolutions condemning the bill and its , principles . were thenc-p4ssed,atudAtte meeting separated. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 26, 1864. LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

The Seizure of the Tuscaloosa, The commander of this Confederate cruiser, lately seized by the authorities at the Cape of Good Hope, has forwarded the following protest to Sir Philip Wodehouse,K.C.B., governor of that colony : —" Confederate States' ship Tuscaloosa, Sinfon's Bay, Cape of Good ,Hope, Dec. 28,1863, officer in command ot the Confederate States'_ : ship Tuscaloosa, tende'r to the Confederate States' steamer Alabama, I have .0 record my protest .against the, extraordinary measures which have been adopted towards me and the vessel under my command by the British authorities of the colony, In August last the Tuscaloosa arrived in Simon's Bay she was not "only - recognised. in the character which she lawfully claimed, and still claims to ' be, viz., a commissioned ship. of war belong ing to a belligerent power, but was allowed to remain in the harbour for the period of five days, taking in supplies and effecting repairs with the full knowledge and sanction of the authorities. No intimation was given that she was regarded merely in the light of an ordinary prize, or that she was considered to be violating the laws of neu trality, nor, when she notoriously left for a cruise on active service, was any intimation Whatever con veyed that on her • return to the port of a friendly power, where she had been received as a man-of war, she would be regarded as a prize,' as a violator of. the Queen's proclamation of neutrality, and consequently .liable to seizure. Misled by the conduct of her Majesty's Government, 1' returned to Simon's Bay on the 26th inst., in very urgent need of repairs , and supplies. To my surprise, I find the Tuscaloosa is now no longer considered as ,a man-of-war, and she has, by your orders, as I learn, been seized for the purpose of ' being handed over to the person who claims her on the behalf of her late owners. The character of the vessel, viz, that of a lawful commissioned ship of 'war of the Confederate States of America, has not been altered singe her first arrival in Simon's Bay; and sbe having been once fully recognised by the _British authorities in command in this colony, and no notice or warning of 'change of opi nion or of friendly feeling having been communi cated by public notification or. otherwise, I was to be again permitted to 'enter iuion,sto expect ,Baywithout molestation. In perfect good , entitledsfaith I returned to Simon's Bay for were neeessariee, authorities, ; but, and in all honour and good faith in return I should, on change of opinion or of policy on the part of the British have been desired to leave the port again lby the course of proceed ings taken, I have been--supposing the view now adopted by your Excellency's Government to be correct—firstly misled, and then entrapped. My position and the character of my ship will most cer tainly be vindicated by my Government. I am powerless to resist the affront offered to the Confe derate States of America by your Excellency's =- duct and proceedings. I demand, however, the release of my ship, and if this demand be not promptly complied with, I hereby formally protest against her seizure, especially under the very peculiar circumstances of the case,—l have, S.ze., J.

The second part ,of the correspondence respecting the affairs of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein was issued yesterday. The correspondence begins on Jan. 21,1863, and is brought down in the present publication to Sept. 30, 1863. Two distinct period's are embraced in it. In the ,first, extending from Jan. 21.10 March 30, 1863, we , have several despatches from our representative at Copenhagen and from others, relating, the. proceedings of the Danish Landsthing and the Holstein Estates, show ing the motives and nature of the . resolution of Denmark, embodied in the now repealed patent of March 30, 1863. Athongst the most interesting papers is the following despatch, dated Paris,, Sept. 18, in Which m r . Grey communicates to Earl Rus sell the femarks of M. Drouyn 'de Lhnys upon certain propositions of the noble earj. Mr. Grey sayi:—" The commtiaication which I made to him to-day involved, he (M. Drouyn de Lhuys) said, a more formal step, and one in, which he, for his part, could see no prospect of advantage. The offer of good offices would he thought be useless (inutile). The second modeof proceeding suggested by your lordship, viz., To remind Austria, Prussia, and the German Diet, that any acts on their part tending to weaken the integrity and independence of Denmark would be at variance with the treaty of the Bth of May, 1852; would be in a'great measure inalogous to the course pursued by Great Britain and France in the Polish question. ,He had-no in clination (and he frankly avowed he should so speak to the Emperor) to place France - in the same posi tion with reference to Germany as she had been laced with regard to Russia. The formal notes adaressed by the three 'Powers to Ruesia had re ceived an aniwer which literally meant nothing ; wind the position in which those three great Powers were now placed was -anything but dignified ;, ar4d if Ragland and France were to, ad dress such a reminder as that proposed to Austria, Prussia, and the' German Confederation,lhey must be prepared,. tq ,go , further, t!n4 to adopt a course of action more , in accordance, with the dignify of two great Powers than they were now doing in Polish question. France was not, his excellency said, by any moans.indifferent to the maintenance of'the integrity and independence of_Denmark;and it was not from any indifference that he disapproved_ of your lordship's suggestion. He had already re ,presented to the German Powers that if they invadedtHolstein for the purpose of. Affecting a revolt in Schleswig, or if they r went further and ihvaded Schleswig itself, they would be infringing bli the rights of an independe n t sovereign, and entering upon a grave :'question , i affecting the balance, of power , in• c '.EitrAfe,: _ l to, which ; Franco Could not remain indifferint. Jiis excel- leucy the'refOre, that y...iiurnordship now suggests had been . done, unleSs it was desired to take .a more formal step, such as the presentation Of an identic note, or the simultaneous presentation of noiesrofsiinilar pnrpert. To this mode of pro ceeding he had' the strongest objection for the rea sons stated above: Ho desired to preserve entire liberty of actionfor,Franee in this matter; had unless her Majesty's. Government was prepared tO, go fur :ther, if necessary, than the mere presentation ore note aud..the:reeeipt of ,an .evasive reply he Was sure the Emperor would not consent, to adoptyptir, lord, . ship's suggestion.", The following " extract"- is also interesting :— " EARL RUSE3ELL TO COUNT IVACIITMEISTEIi. "Foreign Office, 25th Bepternber, 1863.. " (Ettr:ibt.)- "Her Majesty's Government setthe highest value on the independence' and' integrity 'of Denmark. Her Majesty's 'Government would ,be: rettdy . to, offer their good offices to the two parties to contend . in arms.' Her Majesty's Government would ,he ready . to do so in conjunction with France alone. Bat the course which her Mijetity might be idviscd . to take with regard to' these matters, if the good offices of her Majesty's Government should be un successful, mtiat be the subject of future considera tion and decision'. Her Majesty's Government are not prepared to say that Denmark is altogether in the right, or that Germany has not some grounds of complaint in reference to the condition of the Ger man population in Schleswig. But they think these d fferenees should be the subject of negotiation either in conferences or otherwise, and should not be brought to the issue of war. Her Majesty's Go vernment will be ready to remind, Austria and Prussia of their treaty obligations to respect the integrity and independence of Denmark." In September Prince Gortchakoff, on behalf of the Russian Government, wrote to Baron Brunnow that Russia, France, and England had an equal interest in the maintenance of the independence and integrity of the Danish monarshy, and " if the Cabinet of London thought fit on its part to reas sure the Danish Government on the result in the event of war, its representative at Copenhagen would meet with the most sincere co-operation on the part of the Baron- de—Nioolay." And to the Russian ambassatur at Cepenhaken, that no one could contest the riglit'of th`O'German Diet to give effect to the resortations to which it gave expression by its vote of. b . tit "it will reflect, we trust, upon thd seff t , ous consequences for the tranquillity of Germani itself; w~iic~i'~inigFit'be inctrtrSd'by-an inttrventioh, Which should exceed the _ strict limits of its com petence. Whatever may be the rights which may result to it from the- arrangements of 1851-152,.ai regards-Dachy of Schlesvrig„, the Diet, could ; not have the intention to cause a purely Federal qua= tion to assume the propoitioia `of 'ad • <. ' ari , affair;"- - - - . . It may be mentioned, however, that all this cor respondence took place previously to King Frederic's death, and that the public has as yet not one tittle of information to enable it to form,an,npinion on the policy of the Government during the last three months—that heing precisely the period in which the. whole interest of the questior. is, centred.' The Murder in Northamptonshire. The examination- before the. Thrapaton, police. court. of William Weekly Ball, the man charged with having murr dered 'Lydia Astro in July, - 1850, was Concluded yesterday. The circumstances under which the young Woman disap peared 13 years ago, after cohabiting with the prisoner, and the diecoverl , hear his hem, on the 4th inst.;, of the remains of a dead body, supposed to be hers, were briefly 'mentioned in 'no S'un of the 191 current; In the . eianihilition - Wore' the - magistrates on - Monday John Hill, a labourer, said that on the night when Lydia A.stley was missed, he saw her and the prisoner together in a lane leading to Ball's Orchard. ; Joseph Groom, another labourer, overheard a conversa tion on the same occasion, and near {he same Place, between Astley, whom he well - knew, and a man-. He heard her say, " I believe you mean to kill me to-night, "Weekly Ball." He alkoleard her' say, "'the Lord have" mercy upon nie if I am to die to-night." _ . . iyury Dix, a faietirer, said that Lydia stley a fortnight before i sh6 disappeared came to his house and asked - him to extract a tooth.

FATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. The trial of small-bores was continued yesterday at Woolwich, the wind throughout the day being most =fa vourable to good diagrams.- The following are the figures of merit made on Wednesday by the fifth and sixth series of rifles.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth series of the largo-bore Whit worth kept up the surprising repgtation that 'weapon has already gained, They were respectively .59, .62, and '45. Mr. Baker having retired, there were only four competi tors at the 1,000 yards yesterday, in addition to NV hi t - woith'e large-bore. Four rifles of each maker were tried at this range, the figures of merit being : Ai; 1,90) Yards. Name. Ist Rifle. 2d , Rifle. 3d Rifle. Average. Feet. Feet. Feet.

Mr. Henry, the only competitorfrom whom he had anything to fear, although first at the 500 yards rAnge,.Made a most :disastrous diagram with his first rifle at the long range, greatly endangering hiS Chance of winning. This was owing to a very unfortunate ticcident. 'ln loading for one of the five trial shots, his assistant omitted to put in the ; bullet. The piece,,of course; *tia so seriously affected by the fouling consequent on the. Wank cartridge being fired that nairy tiliOt went ;vide of the centre; the.reault' 7 , ing diagram giving 3 . 56 feet as the mean radial deviation. The accident had so greatnn-iiiflubnee on the nerves of the ,assistant that during the trial of the second iifto' Only part of the, powder was put into the piece at the first shot.. The, wide shot caused by this secozid 'accident Sent the figuro of merit of the second rifle up to 214 feet,.aliowing Mr., Whit..., Worth to win It is . a singular fact that Rigby, who made such comparatively bad shooting . at 500 yard's,' beat oven WhOottla the lOng'range:With a figure of merit . of 2.13 feet.

This riff: not only cabae out second as cemparedrwith the five which competed. at, 500 yardii, bnt actually beist'thent all at'the long range, its average figure of merit, 1-891 t, being lezi - than that Of either ItigbY's or Whitworth's small bore. If other trials of this-weapon bear out the charisterif has thus gained, it will be a riost im portant matter, as no-obstacle exists to, its j.being ately inyedticed as d military weapon. As before stated, the ordinary Enfield ammuaition 'cAu be, used with a 'better result than with the Enfield arm. To bring out its full merits, it,iS iieatOrY,to use Mr, Whitworth's ammunition, consisting of 85 grains of powder awl a bullet 'of peculiar, construction, Thii3 bullet, Which haS just been' patented.by Mr. Whitworth, is, of the usual hexagonal, or rather dodecagonal form, and differs from the ordinary bulletin having t o bole made in its, conical,, end of such a size as to throw the centre of gravity into the exact centre of thi bull'et, a woeden plug, being inserted in the front cavity, and trimmed off carsiully so as to, afford no ret-, ance to the atitiosi)liere.

"Acting on this as the generally recognised intention of of the Council, we have provided rifles to carry out their views; but in order to do this we have been compelled to limit the weight of our barrels to 41b 14oz and 51b loz re spectively.
